or anywhere on the other ham HF bands. (1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 MHz bands)
Other freqs will be used but they are the main ones.

Re: Amateur Radio contest
I'll be on air tomorrow morning from Bunbury - looking forward to as many contacts as possible. Unfortunately I'm limited to 2m/70cm FM only but I have a good location where I'll be driving to park. I may be even able to jag a few Metro contacts, or at least Mandurah from here ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Got the laptop all ready to go with some logging software... keep an ear out for me everyone!![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
